EDINBURGH, (PIC)-- Activists launched a national campaign last weekend to boycott Israeli products throughout Scotland. The group said it will target Muslim-owned shops in Scotland as a first step.

The Scottish Sunday Herald reported that after the campaign achieved success in Glasgow, campaign organizers decided to expand the boycott to Muslim shops throughout Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Fife.

The campaign’s organizing body called on Muslim shops in Glasgow to stop buying Israeli products and to take them off their shelves, warning that any uncooperative stores would be placed on the “list of shame”.

All of the shops the campaign visited were in support of boycotting Israeli products, the Herald quoted campaign chairman Mick Napier as saying, adding that support received by customers and the public was remarkable.
